Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system for controlling energy state aspects of a hybrid vehicle (of the type having an electric motor and some other fuel consuming prime mover) and, more particularly, the present invention relates to a system for monitoring and adjusting a “total energy level” for the hybrid vehicle such that energy storage conditions for providing drive energy to the electric motor are optimized and fuel consumption for prime mover is reduced.
- a conventional series hybrid vehicle may use an electric motor to provide mechanical drive power to the wheels and an internal combustion engine as a prime mover (i.e., an internal combustion engine that drives an alternator or generator, which, in turn, produces electrical energy that is stored and later used by the electric motor).
- a conventional control system for such a hybrid vehicle commands the electric motor and internal combustion engine to various operating speeds and torques to achieve desired drive power.
- the control system of the hybrid vehicle is also responsible for managing power flow to and from an electrical energy storage unit for storing the electrical energy used (or produced) by the electric motor.
- the electrical energy storage unit is usually a battery pack (e.g., a plurality of series/parallel connected batteries, such as lead acid batteries, nickel cadmium batteries, nickel metal hydride batteries, lithium batteries, etc.).
- Recharging the battery pack while operating the hybrid vehicle may be accomplished in any number of ways, for example: (i) using a generator and passive regulator, (ii) using a generator and an active recharging power converter, (iii) using an alternator and passive rectifier/regulator; and (iv) using an alternator and an active recharging inverter (AC to DC converter).
- the generator or alternator is rotatably coupled to the internal combustion engine such that the generator or alternator is capable of producing a source of electrical power to recharge the battery pack in response to the rotational power provided by the internal combustion engine.
- the conventional control system often monitors the state of charge of the battery pack and maintains the state of charge at approximately 60% of full charge. It is understood that the battery pack state of charge is not a tightly regulated quantity, rather, the control system provides course regulation to substantially within some range centered at about 60% state of charge.
- the 60% state of charge results in: (i) a battery pack impedance which is relatively low (e.g., for lead acid batteries); (ii) a battery pack having a source of reserve energy capable of providing drive power for unforeseen upward grades (e.g., hill climbing) and/or acceleration, it being understood that power is the time rate of change of energy; and (iii) a battery pack having a charge space sufficient for recovering mechanical potential and/or mechanical kinetic energy from the hybrid vehicle during downward grades and/or deceleration (e.g., where the electric motor operates in a regenerative mode).
- a battery pack impedance which is relatively low (e.g., for lead acid batteries); (ii) a battery pack having a source of reserve energy capable of providing drive power for unforeseen upward grades (e.g., hill climbing) and/or acceleration, it being understood that power is the time rate of change of energy; and (iii) a battery pack having a charge space sufficient for recovering mechanical potential and/or mechanical kinetic energy from the hybrid vehicle
- the control system When the state of charge falls below the 60% level by a sufficient amount, the control system will cause the internal combustion engine and generator or alternator apparatus (hereinafter the “generator” for simplicity) to engage and provide electrical charging power to the battery pack. This is often accomplished by increasing the commanded speed and/or torque of the internal combustion engine. As the generator delivers electrical power to the battery pack, the state of charge of the battery pack increases. When the state of charge exceeds the 60% level by a sufficient amount, the control system will cause the internal combustion engine and generator to terminate delivery of electrical recharging power to the battery pack.

Indeed, the database 43 (or 43 a ) may include a plurality of altitudes which are indexed by, and retrievable using, the information concerning the position of the hybrid vehicle.

This may be accomplished by delivering current from the generator 38 , through the power converter 36 , to the motor controller 34 . Therefore, when the electric motor 24 is commanded to provide a substantial amount of drive power to the vehicle drive train 26 , the battery pack 32 will not be overburdened (in terms of current requirements) because the generator 38 may provide the additional desired current. Further, the energy control unit 40 may be programmed to provide advantageous throttle levels 28 to the prime mover 22 (e.g., an internal combustion engine) based on certain vehicle criteria.

Therefore, the terrain prediction unit 41 may estimate a future grade angle (and associated length) and/or a future altitude based on the information contained in the route memory (e.g., database 43 ).
- the terrain prediction unit 41 is preferably operable to select one of the stored routes in an automated fashion by monitoring one or more of the past and present positions of the hybrid vehicle and estimating which of the stored routes substantially matches the monitored positions.
- the terrain prediction unit 41 may select one of the stored routes based upon instructional data (or driver commands) 114 (FIG. 2) received from a driver of the hybrid vehicle. For example, the driver may provide a request for directions to a particular destination via driver input/commands 114 .
- the terrain prediction unit 41 preferably selects one of the stored routes which leads to the destination. As the terrain prediction unit 41 knows what positions the hybrid vehicle will attain during the route to the destination, it utilizes the information in determining the grade angles, lengths of grade, and altitude of the surfaces on which the hybrid vehicle will travel.
- the driver input/commands 114 may also include a programmed seat position of the driver (assuming the hybrid vehicle has the capability of storing a seat position) which aides the terrain prediction unit 41 in selecting one of the stored routes within the route memory. Indeed, drivers often drive over predictable routes, such as to work, retail establishments, etc. Thus, a stored seat position may be used to identify a particular driver and, therefore, identify likely routes of travel.
